How to Redirect Windows 10 Web Search to Chrome browser

Two remarkable features of Windows 10 are Cortana and Microsoft Edge. The Cortana bar gives you web search options as the search result of the keywords you type. And Microsoft Edge is the new search engine by Microsoft. So when you search something in the Cortana bar of your Windows 10 device, if it is a web search, the result is shown in Microsoft Edge by default. Windows 10 redirects all the web searches to Bing. If you are not a fan of Bing search or the Edge browser, you might find this less interesting. You can turn this feature off if you want. As Microsoft Edge is a relatively new browser, there are many functionalities that are not available. And further, most of us may be more familiar with Chrome browser and Google search engine. It is not always easy to launch the Google Chrome browser each time you wish to search something on the web. Hence we would prefer searching something on the Cortana bar. Now if you wish to have your Windows 10 web searches redirected to Google instead of Bing, read this post and carefully follow the simple steps shown below.
